COUNCIL bosses are appealing for information after thieves stole two 6ft high water tanks.

The copper tanks, which are worth around £125 each, have been stolen from public toilets in Jaywick over recent weeks.

One went missing from the Meadow Way toilets site and the second was stolen from Garden Road on May 24.

“The tanks had been detached from the pipes for maintenance and were standing empty,” said Stephen Sparrow, assistant head of environmental services at Tendring Council.

“However, they are around 6ft tall and 2ft 6ins in diameter and would have taken more than one person to lift them.

“They would also have needed a vehicle to remove them from the site.”

Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call the police or Tendring Council on 01255 686743.
